Thank you for the warning. I was going to start with the American Bonanza Society to see if this group would be able to point me in the right direction. Best bet, IMO. They will also hook you up with an instructor. However, you have me thinking: Is there a characteristic of the Baron dual yoke that a non-Beech experienced person like me would be able to spot to expose such a scandal? Yes, but not easily. It looks the same, except that the part that mounts on the shaft is subtly different. You can make it work, but it's crooked and will either be hitting your knees or blocking the lower part of the panel. BTW - be careful in regards to the checkout. The Bo is EXTREMELY easy to land - easier than anything I have ever flown, including the C-172. In fact, when you transition from a C-172 or equivalent, you can complete a day-VFR checkout in an hour or two, no problem. The same plane will eat your lunch night-IFR. A reasonable checkout for a pilot who is already instrument proficient in a C-172 or similar and wishes to fly something like a Bo IFR is 10 hours. Michael |
